Requesting a fixture in a pytest.Item item

[GergelyKalmar]

I'm trying to request a specific fixture in a pytest.Item object that is part of a plugin (something similar to this: https://github.com/logikal-io/pytest-logikal/blob/main/pytest_logikal/licenses.py#L56), however, I couldn't find a way to actually do that. I don't need the return value of the fixture, I just need the side effect to take place.

I've found out that I can add marks in the __init__ function via self.add_marker('xxx'), however, I couldn't find a way to make the item request a fixture before runtest runs (and call the teardown when runtest is done). Is that possible somehow? I tried to call the fixture directly, but that gave me an error:

Fixture "xxx" called directly. Fixtures are not meant to be called directly, but are created automatically when test functions request them as parameters. See https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/explanation/fixtures.html for more information about fixtures, and
https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/deprecations.html#calling-fixtures-directly about how to update your code.

Currently fixtures are not extended to items in the general sense
